The miracle of deliverance of "the horse and its rider" in 1776
In this edition of the Shulchan Aruch, at the end of the Choshen Mishpat volume, the owner wrote a long inscription recounting the story of a miracle that he experienced in his youth:
"I am hereby writing to you a few of the miracles that I experienced in my youth. In 1776, in the month of Cheshvan, I sat on our horse and rode for half an hour from our village called Hestrin(?) to carry out some business. My horse was thirsty, so I asked a gentile shoemaker to show me where I can water my horse and he showed me. I rode with the horse into the water, until the water reached my head, whereupon the horse fell in the water and I fell under its body, endangering my life. I called out to G-d to save me and He delivered me from the water. To commemorate this, I have written this, because G-d's mercy never ceases from me, Avraham son of R. Yitzchak Eizek... Today, Tuesday, 27th Nissan 1780".
